Mission Statement
Handicapped High Riders Club, Inc.,
located at Riding High Farm is a 10 ½ acre farm,
indoor riding facility and stable, organized in 1979 as a
not-for-profit 501(c) 3 corporation, dedicated to providing
special needs riders with recreational and therapeutic
instruction.
Riding High Farm is situated on 145 Route
526 on the border of western Mercer and eastern Monmouth
County, midway between the City of Trenton and Township of
Freehold in Central New Jersey.
We seek to enrich the lives of
physically, cognitively and emotionally challenged persons
through riding instructions that engage special needs
individuals in a mainstream recreational and sport activity
and by improving therapeutically through the modality of the
horse both physical and cognitive functions.
Associated and Certified by the North
American Riding for the Handicapped Association (NARHA) we
strive to maintain the highest standards of care, safety and
instructional benefits for special needs riding.
Increasingly reaching out and extending our programs, we
provide individual hyppotherapy and group lessons to school
districts that require physical education for special needs
students.
Our goals include the integration of the
able-bodied with the special needs by expanding our
inclusive summer camp riding program for children and the
recruitment and training of volunteer and community service
workers to assist our professional staff to conduct riding
lessons, maintain our horses and facilities and assist in
fundraising.
